How to Take a Screenshot
Taking a screenshot with Snip and Sketch is fast and easy. The quickest way to screenshot Window 10 with Snip & Sketch is by pressing the keyboard shortcut Windows Key+Shift+S. This opens the Snipping Bar, allowing you to select a mode and snip without opening the Snip & Sketch app. To open Snip & Sketch, take a screenshot, and edit or manage it, follow these steps.
How to Edit in Snip & Sketch
Once you take a snip, the editing tools let you annotate and customize your screenshots.
Snip & Sketch vs. Windows Snipping Tool
The Snip & Sketch tool is available on Windows 10 systems running October 2018 build and above. However, if you don’t find it on your computer, you have the ability to download it from the Microsoft Store. If you are well-versed in the features of the Snipping Tool, you will be pleased to discover the same features are available in Snip & Sketch, albeit with some modifications.
Delay
The Delay option in the Snipping Tool offered delays from 1 - 5 seconds. In Snip & Sketch, the Delay option is on the New drop-down menu with options to snip Now, In 3 Seconds, or In 10 Seconds.
Mode
The Mode option that appears on the Snipping Tool toolbar is not immediately evident, but it does exist. When you select New on the Snip & Sketch window, the “Snipping Bar” will appear at the top of your screen. This bar includes four mode options:
Rectangular SnipFreeform SnipWindow SnipFullscreen Snip
Other Options
The Save, Copy, and Share options all live in the Snip & Sketch toolbar just as they did in the Snipping Tool. In addition, there is a Pen, a Highlighter, and an Eraser just like the Snipping Tool made popular. But, unlike the Snipping Tool, there is no option to edit your snip in Paint. Instead, Snip & Sketch offers its own, richer editing capabilities.
